Finally!!! An almost full week of school! Our focus this week was respect-what it looks like, sounds like, feels like, and so on. Sometimes it is easy for us to fall out of good habits and we all (including us teachers) needed some reminders of what respecting ourselves, our classmates, our teachers, and our communities truly means.
Math has been all about the coordinate plane! This is one of my favorite units to teach as it is full of fun games and activities, and students tend to be super excited when they finally understand how to do this! My personal highlight of the week (aside from everyone rocking the coordinate plane) was our Star Wars quadrant review where we had to save the galaxy by matching the ordered pairs with the quadrant (of the galaxy) they fit in...the Imperial March may have been sung numerous times.

| We made new friends and took them on a "walk" on the coordinate plane where we found different things at each location of our journey! This guy found a bed to take a nap after the exhaustively fun trip! |
 |
| This guy found a park bench to rest on and refuel for that last of the journey! Can you believe that almost all students ATE their new best friend...even after they named them...and went on a journey with them...and ate ice cream together... |

| Here we are playing coordinate plane battleship...these kids are ruthless when it comes to sinking those ships! |

The Great War has been our focus this week. We created a map of powers and important countries, heard the tragic story of the many failed attempts and unfortunately one successful attempt of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, the new, lethal weaponry of the time, the conditions of the trenches, and the terrors that abounded.
